Dear Sir: The continued rains having ceased, spring having opened, plowing having begun and the planting season drawing near, let me urge upon you the import ance of making a strike for the reduc tion of cotton acreage and the neces sity of growing food crops. The Western fanners are turning their attention to the growing of wheat since the prince has been fixed by the President at 2.26 per bushel, reducing their acreage planted to corn, which naturally will result in a scarcity of this product, thus causing the price to advance. Keep right in behind your district chairmen, having them to keep up the fight, reminding the farmers of their pledge to reduce; for if a normal crop is planted and conditions are favora ble, we will see the price this fall far below the cost of production. The European spinners, Wall street gamblers and cotton manipulators are still trying to discredit our movement to reduce the acreage and are getting very nervous over the situation. x If you will keep up the fight in your county as is being waged in every county throughout the cotton states, we will see one of the greatest victo- ■ies won that was ever known to the South. If you have not sent in the names and addresses of your district chair men, please, do so at once, as I wish to communicate with them. Again calling on you to keep the mat ter of reduction fresh before your peo ple, and thanking you for your interest in it, I am, Sincerely yorus, j. J. BROWN, Commissioner of Agriculture. IN MEMORY OF BEATRICE BAR NETT The ten-year-old daughter- of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Barnett. The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Barnett on November 15, 1918, and took from them their oldest daughter, Beatrice. After a few days’ suffering she was called home to rest. |We cannot realize that she is gone forever from mortal sight. What a shock it was to hear the sad news of her death. It is sad and strange that God took the one that .seemed most needed; but God makes no mistakes. We cannot understand here, but some day we shall understand up there. We shall miss her at 'Sunday school, l home, and her pleasant smiles. She .. as one of the best children we ever knew. She leavec father, mother, one brother two sisters and a host of other friends and relatives to mourn her death. HER S. S. TEACHER. THE BROOKS SCHOOL. Prof. T. II. Starr, principal of the Brooks High School, has written the county superintendent that the school has met the requirements of a stand ard school and requesting a certificate of standardization. A certificate will be awarded Friday, April 11th. In 1915 the Brooks School House, worth about $198.00, was destroyed by fire, together with a current idea, which still prevails in many places, that any building is good enough for School purposes. Plans for a building adequate to the needs of this thriving little city were formed, which necessi tated a bond issue. Bonds Were issued. A good site was secured and a modern four room brick building erected at a cost of about seven thousand dollars. Still not satisfied with what they had, the people decided to have modern equipment and set about raising funds for this purpose with the following re sult: Five hundred dollars’ worth of mod ern single desks have been secured; a library is to be purchased; play grounds have been equipped; toilets recommended by the State Board of Health have been built; building is well heated and ventilated. While all this has cost money, yet the people feel that they are being well repaid, and a "Short time ago raised $150 at an entertainment for the benefit of the school. Brooks people are stand ing behind their school. Results: School a community cen ter; 98 per cent average attendance; and this in spite of smallpox, mumps, cold weather, hot weather, prosperity and poverty; a larger per cent enter ing college to continue their educa tion; and last but not least, patrons who are willing to co-operate, boost and pay school taxes. Credit is due especially for the many things accomplished to Messrs. E. R. Coggins, J. H. Jones and L. L. Haynes, trustees, who have given their time unstintingly to school affairs, and to Prof. T. H. Starr, principal; Miss Al ford, Miss Moore and Miss Lewis, teachers. To the family and friends of John Graves, our deceased friend and bro ther, we desire to express our sympa thy, and if under these sad circum stances, sympathy of friends can con sole; be assured that we share your sorrow and while you mourn we mourn. It is a precious heritage indeed to ever have and cherish in our memory the day when God’s full purpose In our life had been achieved, step by step, and height by height had been attain ed, shadows were fleeing, sufferings were ceasing, the last morning is breaking, the full day dawns, and the one “who giveth us the • victory” has claimed his own. Father and friend, while in the val ley of thes hadow of death, found the pearl of great price, and, unlike the •icli ruler, John Graves sold his pos sessions and followed his Lord. A REAL MAN. It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood. The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing until you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. HOPEVILLE TheTe is more Catarrh in this sec tion than all other diseases put to gether, and for years it was suppos ed to be incurable. Doctors prescrib ed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
